Chapter 185: The Strange Cockscomb Snake

After all this trouble, it was already four o'clock in the morning, and there were only more than two hours before dawn.

Everyone was in no mood to continue sleeping, and they chatted around the campfire to pass the time.

The experience of the past two days was too terrifying, which made people realize one thing.

The closer you get to the ghost town, the greater the danger!

Before you even see the shadow of the ghost town, you have encountered two attacks in succession, and the danger has increased exponentially.

Wuxie couldn't help but worry.

"If you continue to walk down, I don't know how many cockscomb snakes you will encounter. I'm afraid there will be more next time?"

In fact, Ji Changsheng was also a little puzzled. In the original work, the ghost town was the nest of these cockscomb snakes, and they would not easily leave their territory.

But this time when they came to the Qaidam Basin, they first found a cockscomb snake in the well of Lancuo Village.

Then, they encountered two sneak attacks, each larger than the last!

What caused these cockscomb snakes to leave their nests and take the initiative to attack?

At this time, Aning also said.

"Since we were attacked by the crested snakes, logically, the group of people should be attacked as well, right?"

The mysterious group of men in black!

They were also heading for the ghost town, and they expected that the crested snakes would not let them go!

It's useless to make friends with these crested snakes. In their eyes, everyone is an invader!

When Pan Zi heard this, he slapped his thigh and said.

"It's better to be like this, they deserve it!"

"We have Mr. Ji and the little brother in charge, so we didn't get wiped out."

"If there were no masters in that group of people, they would definitely be bitten to death by the snakes!"

Ji Changsheng didn't think so. He had seen the group's ability to control the storm, and even he, a cross-travel cheater, had never seen this mysterious power!

According to his judgment, this power is very likely related to the ultimate.

Because those who have seen the ultimate have gained different powers, no one knows how many kinds of power the ultimate has before the truth of the ultimate is revealed!

If this speculation is true, the group of men in black are not as weak as imagined!

However, Ji Changsheng didn't care about these. As long as he found the ghost town, he could find the group of people.

And everything that happened in the past few days made him believe in one thing.

"The ghost town is not far away."

When everyone heard this, they all showed expressions of surprise and joy.

The fat man asked hurriedly.

"How far is it?"

Ji Changsheng thought about it and said.

"If everything goes well, we should be able to see it tomorrow."

After experiencing so many dangers, we can finally see the true face of the ghost town. The difficulties and obstacles along the way have finally paid off.

This greatly increased people's confidence and morale became high again.

Wuxie couldn't help asking.

"How did you judge it? Is it those snakes?"

Before Ji Changsheng answered, the fat man immediately said.

"What does it have to do with these snakes? Do you have too rich associative ability?"

Wuxie shrugged and said.

"I asked you, where is the ghost town?"

The fat man replied.

"You said it was in the oasis, why are you asking me."

Wuxie nodded.

"Then think about it, what kind of food is there in this vast desert to feed so many snakes?"

After saying this, the fat man suddenly realized.

There is no vegetation in the Gobi Desert, and there are not many small animals. There is simply not enough food to feed so many snakes, especially those twin-scaled pythons.

There is only one place in the entire Gobi Desert that can provide an environment for these snakes to survive.

"Oasis!"

"Damn, you are really good!"

"Mr. Ji, is he right?"

Ji Changsheng nodded.

"His analysis is correct. The closer to the ghost town, the more snakes there will be."

Others also nodded in agreement, but another problem also came up.

Jack said with a puzzled look on his face.

"These snakes are so strange. All snakes in the world are solitary animals. They only gather together when mating."

"Even in the mating season, snakes will not cooperate with each other to hunt together."

"But the snakes we saw seem to have strong organization and discipline, just like social animals."

"This is completely contrary to biological common sense!"

Social animals refer to groups such as ants and bees. They will divide the work and cooperate. Each individual has a clear purpose from birth.

Worker bees are responsible for collecting food, building nests, feeding offspring and other companions.

The queen bee, that is, the female bee, is only responsible for laying eggs.

Drone bees are only responsible for mating with the queen bee.

The entire bee colony has a strict hierarchy, as well as organization and discipline, just like human society. This is a social animal.

The snakes they have seen have a certain degree of sociality.

The crested snake is responsible for attracting people's attention with onomatopoeia, the giant python is responsible for launching attacks, and there are even scouts.

These snakes seem to be a huge group!

But the problem is that snakes are not social animals!

Everyone was puzzled. Even Chenpi Ah Si, who had the most experience, said that this was the first time he had encountered such a thing. He had never heard of it.

In response, Ji Changsheng just smiled faintly.

"Common sense is meant to be broken. You have to believe your eyes."

"These snakes are different from other snakes. They are social animals!"

Jack still refused to believe this inference and shook his head.

"Even if they are social animals, they are limited to the same species and the same population."

"But those giant pythons and cockscomb snakes are obviously two different species!"

Upon hearing this, Wuxie suddenly thought of what he had just discovered.

"Have you forgotten, those giant pythons have vestigial combs on their heads that turn into horn-like things, and they also have venomous fangs."

"They are most likely the same snake!"

Jack couldn't help but be stunned.

"But the difference in their body shapes is too big!"

Innocent means.

"Differences between males and females are very common in the animal kingdom."

"Take snakes as an example. The male green anaconda is only one or two meters long and weighs more than ten kilograms, while the female snake can grow to five or six meters and weigh more than one hundred kilograms!"

"Although the difference between this cockscomb snake and a giant python is a bit outrageous, I think it is possible."

After thinking for a while, Jack finally agreed with this judgment.

"If that's the case, those little cockscomb snakes are male snakes, and those giant pythons are female snakes?"

At this time, Ji Changsheng spoke.

"Your analysis is correct, but there are no female snakes among these snakes!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was surprised and confused.

"There are no female snakes? Then they are all male snakes? But why are there such big differences!"

Ji Changsheng laughed.

"Who told you that they are all male snakes?"

"Fat man, go get the body of a cockscomb snake. You will understand after you take a look."

The fat man went to get one with a confused look on his face. After looking at it carefully for a while, his eyes widened.

"Holy shit, what's going on?"

"This snake actually...has no genitals!"
